Sailor,
Like Chris said, use PVC fittings (male adaptors) to do the replumb, and use the teflon, thread sealer to make sure the connections don't leak. I would use ridgid sch 40 pipe to do the connections (the flex will get 'diseased - looking' after sitting exposed for a few months.) I'm about to log out, but will be back tomorrow afternoon {I get to play golf at a GREAT course tomorrow !!! }

I thank you for your faith in me and will check in tomorrow evening

[edit] CONGRATULATIONS on gaining your seniority!!! [/edit]
